Morel ST 1308 Tweeter
Categories: 0.75 - 2" (19-50mm) Dome Tweeters Morel Tweeters
130mm offset faceplate version.
PRICED AS A MATCHED PAIR.
The Morel ST 1308 is a high-end 28mm soft dome tweeter from the Supreme range with an offset 130mm aluminium faceplate. This innovative drive unit features a short voice coil operating in a long magnetic gap - linear operation is maintained throughout the bandwidth even at high output levels as the coil assembly never strays from the area of peak magnetic flux (this mode of operation is often referred to as 'underhung'). The voice coil is wound with Hexatech Aluminium wire (Hexagonal section, zero air gap) and is cooled by ferrofluid. The dome assembly is hand coated with Acuflex damping compound and is field replaceable. The critically tuned and damped rear chamber yields a low resonant frequency of just 680 Hz.
Power handling is excellent at 220w nominal, 1000w peak.
As can be seen from the datasheet, the ST 1308 has an incredibly smooth response; the critical 3kHz-17kHz band is held within 2dB limits.

Used in a DIY LS3/5a project, with Morel CAT 298 tweeters and custom crossovers using ClarityCap CSAs. Super pleased with these woofers! I think they synergize well with the “live” thin-wall LS3/5a cabinets. The sound is neither bloated, nor thin, just revealing, spacious, and with very lifelike tone. I’m so happy with the results of this project and had a great buying experience with Willy’s. Thank you!!
I used this in custom LS3/5a speaker enclosures along with Monacor SPH-135AD woofers and custom crossovers using ClarityCap CSAs. The tweeters have a very pure sound, revealing microdetails and having a naturally smooth, response. The sound is never peaky or rough. I’m very happy with my purchase and with the service from Willys. Would buy from again for a future project!
I bought a pair of Acoustic Research AR28LS speakers back in 1985 for £129 ! After about 15 years the foam suspension had started to perish and completely failed in 2006 following a rather loud teenage party. I was never happy with the Eminence Beta-8A replacements bought from a local shop at the time, as the bass resonance was far too high. Finally decided to replace them with Monacor SPH-8M and the speakers now sound as good as new. Arrived quickly and no problems fitting. Many thanks.
Absolutely first class service again brilliant advice as i always get from Will. Bought some Morel CAT 328-110 Tweeters and they sound sublime and the detail is incredible. Not harsh at all and very airy performs well beyond its price point im so glad Will advised me on this as the perfomance is fantastic. In fact Will has saved me thousands as replacing drivers has saved me investing in new speakers first class service once again.
Very happy customer thansk again.
Up and running again exactly what I needed. Great job Willys. 10/10👊🏻🫵🏻. From start to finish will be use again in near future for crossover upgrade. 1st time using. 100% will use again
